A Recipe for a Sustainable Structure:

ModCell® Panels can be used either as

a) load-bearing panels, up-to three modules (9m) high, or

b) free-standing, as non load-bearing cladding panels, where a structural frame is to be used.

 

The structural timber frame is ‘infilled’ with locally sourced straw bales, which are stacked to form a wall, pre-compressed to reduce settlement and then pinned together for stability. The wall is then either plastered using a protective lime render or clad with a range of products, including timber.

 

 

The bales act compositely with the render to provide a stiff panel that resists wind loads.


This provides a sustainable form of construction with minimal use of materials and low embodied

energy.


ModCell® Panels are manufactured in variety of modules, to find out more go to the technical section.
